There is little more disheartening as a parent, then when your baby is sick and you can't figure out why. Of course, the same goes for pet parents! Missy was brought in to our ER by her mom Resawn, one of our wonderful patient care technicians, for the frustratingly vague signs of lethargy and inappetance.
Missy was found on the streets of Little Italy, 3ish years ago, emaciated and dirty. But with mom's TLC she grew into a fluffy little tiger, who loves baby food and canned chicken and chasing imaginary things only she can see. Wanting to take care of Missy, mom brought her in and chose to do bloodwork and an ultrasound. Sometimes, however, even these things don't give us a definitive answer. So Missy was put on an appetite stimulant and instructions for a bland diet and lots of extra love. It must be helping because Resawn reports that Missy is doing better. We are sending Missy our love too! ... See MoreSee Less

Back in July, Colbie was being pet sat by the owner’s father who lives in northern California. They drove 10 hours to get there and Colbie began vomiting upon arrival. She was seen by a local vet hospital. No diagnostics were performed, although she did receive a Cerenia injection and additional medication to take at home. They drove back down to southern CA and Colbie started vomiting again and became lethargic. They went to their local vet who then sent them to our North County hospital. We performed an abdominal ultrasound that showed a linear foreign body causing an obstruction. Dr. Seth Ganz performed surgery that night to remove it. Colbie, picture here with her family, had an excellent recovery! Her family is very thankful for Dr. Ganz and the team who saved Colbie's life! ... See MoreSee Less

This Sarah, momma to the furry rascal in the photo and those two small humans. The story goes further. This is actually the SECOND time Dr Ganz and the VSH team saved Colbie’s life. She had her first obstruction 2 years prior and he did a similar procedure then. She really has 9 lives, we’ll at least 3. She is our first baby and a central part of our family. Thanks Dr. Ganz and VSH for being sooo awesome!

So happy to hear good news for Colbie!!!

So happy to see Colbie alive and well. Dr. Ganz is a top notch veterinary surgeon. He operated on my Sam twice with excellent results.

Dr. Ganz....Colbie is very happy, to be sure.

What did he pull out?

Sarah dr Ganz gave our Emma a few years more after no one else could help her! Sh recovered on matzo ball soup! Glad Colbie is all good😊

Thank you! 💙

Testimonials

Our 13.5 year old Lab, Kealy, could not have been in better hands. She not only survived liver surgery for a ruptured abscess and septicemia, she has fully recovered and is doing GREAT!

All of the VSH staff was terrific, but a special shout out to her many veterinarians and technicians who stayed by her side 24/7 for a week nursing her back to health. We could not have asked for more, and are grateful everyday.

In July of 2014 Chloe unfortunately had a bad reaction to a vaccine and all four legs went lame. After about 3 weeks of seeing another Veterinary office, we decided to bring Chloe to Veterinary Specialty Hospital because she was not doing better.

After numerous tests, blood panels, and the wonderful direction of Dr. Steve Hill with medications, I am happy to report Chloe is now walking and RUNNING. All of her adult friends at the park are amazed to see her condition today. It has been almost a year and I am so happy to have had the guidance of Dr. Steve Hill. I never thought Chloe was going to be able to walk/run again but she is. I would like to give you a heartfelt THANK YOU for all you did for Chloe. You’re the best!

My wife and I brought Oscar, our injured French bulldog, in for an emergency consult. He had injured his spine and was rapidly losing feeling and movement.

Dr. Delamaide and Whitney got us in quickly, explained the injury, the prognosis, and the surgery. We handed Oscar off, not knowing if we would ever see him again.

Fast forward two months, after a very difficult surgery and what seemed an impossible rehab, Oscar has resumed walking, playing, and is just about his old self again. He still has some improvements to make but he is well on the way.

Just wanted to thank you all for giving our family member a chance. We can’t thank you enough.
